Seriously, how do piano movers/people move grand or baby grand pianos to places, anywhere? But especially to either small spaces, up stairs, or for example, an apartment/penthouse in a tall building in NYC? I know it happens. It seems very difficult. Explain plz haha
edit for punctuation because my keyboard is broken oh 2nd edit – yeah genuinely no pun intended with the word “keyboard”

I used to help this guy move all kinds of pianos. It was his second full time job. It take 2-5 guys depending on the type/size of the piano. Usually 3 guys can move almost any piano. The legs can come off and we would usually tip the piano onto its side onto a heavy duty carpeted dolly. We would roll the dolly up a ramp onto the bed of the work truck. There was special piano blankets for wrapping to protect the piano. Also a lot of buckle straps. Good communication was key. We would have to lift at the same time and also be precise. I think moving pianos is much better as it’s own moving business as opposed to a moving company that can move pianos. Some Pianos are massive but also can be delicate in certain areas so extra care must be taken. We had quite a few jobs where a piano would either be moving up stairs or down stairs, sometimes spiral staircases.
